The UAS Autopilot Development Toolkit integrates into current and future UAS platforms and is designed to enable researchers to quickly prototype and deploy advanced and non-traditional navigation, guidance, and control technologies. The collaborative effort provides the open-source community with a professional-grade, high-performance flight control system that is scalable, extensible, and cost-efficient. “This project is an excellent example of collaboration between the University of Minnesota and industry. From a technical perspective, performance is outstanding. But, we’ve also created a product that is valuable not just to our business, but to the broader community working to develop the next generation of capabilities for unmanned systems,” said Sentera CEO Eric Taipale. The team worked with industry and research partners to define the system architecture for a next-generation flight control system. Sentera and the University of Minnesota worked together to design, develop, and create a working UAS flight control system based on this architecture. This software is […]
